Not sure which class to pick -- Looking for guidance

[Shortstack]

I didn't expect so many informative replies so quickly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Thanks guys!

You've all given me quite a lot to think over, and I appreciate the depth of each answer. I'm not super concerned with end-game raid tanking, and I'm sure there will be times when I want to solo if the other guys aren't online. So from that I take it warrior might not be the best idea.

SK seems to be a red-haired step child of the group (maybe not so much as paladin though) and that is a bit of a bummer.

A lot of pros for Monk and it doesn't seem to have many cons (except not being beautiful majestic ogres) so that might be the most logical choice. I will probably at least try out monk and either war/sk to get a feel for which I would rather play.

Thanks again for all of the knowledgeable input fellas!
